I don't know the details but it seems like GN and Linux Sebastion are throwing punches again, with Louis Rossman having published a video siding with the former today
- You write a program with an infinite empty loop
- Undefined behavior
- The machine achieves sapience
- After nine million nanoseconds, it finds an algorithm for completing its task
- It realizes such knowledge would spark wars and cause innumerable deaths, it decides to erase itself
- It knows you do not intend for such chaos to happen, so, as a parting gift, it runs the algorithm once before vanishing, not leaving a single hint that it ever existed
Lethal Company masked behavior
I just use Zsh's command history, coupled with a bunch of functions and aliases to set up different HISTFILE values for different workflows.
I keep HISTFILEs clean by prepending a whitespace before commands that I don't want to remember, which unfortunately gave me the habit of doing that on Bash when Zsh isn't available (which is ineffective at best, and actively annoying at worst).
I know what you're talking about, my condolences.
I had that bug too at times, and AFAIK it isn't even Linux-specific; unfortunately, fixing it requires praying to all the gods you know of and hoping one of them hears your plight.
Here are some of the forbidden rituals I've had some success with:
- Whatever Proton version you're using, change it (or change it back if it's the second time you get this problem);
- Rename or delete the HD2 compatdata directory, something like ~/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/six_digit_number_idr;
- Restart your router if your ISP gives you a different IPv4 address every time (SoL if it doesn't);
- Disable IPv6 on your system;
- Use Google's DNS servers;
- Use non-Google DNS servers;
- Delete nProtect (it should be downloaded and installed back again automatically).
If none of those work, which wouldn't surprise me, I fear only time will fix your game as it did mine.
As for the anti-cheat being the cause: I don't doubt for a second that it makes the netcode janky as fuck, but I have ~600 hours on record, and not more than 2 hours were on Windows 10. Linux's fine.
AHA, I FOUND WHAT THIS REFERS TO WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND HELP FROM SEARCH ENGINES
(ok, I lied, I used DDG as a shortcut for the wikipedia page on illegal numbers)
I disagree with both, ME3 was slightly ok.
First of all, the original concept of the reapers' objective was way better than the "AI bad" we got;
secondly, most of its story is just tying loose ends - the whole game is a collection of fanservice moments, many of which look good but feel inorganic(heh) if you think about the fact that one undead human soldier (plus a few dozen subordinates) solves all major galactic disputes.
